I'm appalled at the amount of people in this comments section who failed elementary grade school level of physics and also somehow failed to notice this is the shitpost community
I know this is a joke but if anyone is wondering it's because they build those things to go towards the air, otherwise they would be going away from the air and it would be hard to breath. Earth is going away from the air too but luckily it has trees attached to itself that make more air and leave it behind, that's where wind comes from.
Who are you, who are you so wise in the ways of science?
A duck!
Therefore... by the process of elimination, we can tell the Earth is banana shaped.
Duh
This guy knows his stuff

Ik this is a joke but if anyone is wondering it's because units of linear motion (km/h, mph, etc.) do not accurately describe rotation. Rotational units like rpm are much better as linear units give a misleadingly large (though technically correct) number.
If anyone is wondering it's actually because of frame of reference. The first two images have speeds in relation to the rotation of earth, the last imagine uses a different frame of reference. If you put the last image in the same frame of reference as the first two images the number there would be 0km/h, because it would be moving in relation to itself.
It's actually because the thing that makes you make those faces is the acceleration, not the speed.
All three reference frames shown are accelerated, non inertial frames. But the first two have "fictitious" centrifugal accelerations somewhere around 0.5-2.5 g. The third frame has a detectable centrifugal acceleration, but it's like 0.003 g or something, and can be lumped in with gravity for many types of problems.
It's actually because of wind resistance, the air is moving the same speed as the ground when the earth turns so you don't feel it.
(don't @ me I'm just following what I recognized to be a humorous pattern of technically correct "well actually"s)
If you want to just pick the fastest velocity we can measure and we're currently moving at thanks to dark energy the Milky Way galaxy is moving away from other distant galaxies faster than the speed of light.
I think I feel it
I was about to say gravity is stronger but it has already been said.
